اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، قَالَا : أَخْبَرَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى الْكَاهِلِيِّ ، عَنْ الْمُسَوَّرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْأَسَدِيِّ الْمَالِكِيِّ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : يَحْيَى ، وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، فَتَرَكَ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَقْرَأْهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، تَرَكْتَ آيَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هَلَّا أَذْكَرْتَنِيهَا " . قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : قَالَ : كُنْتُ أُرَاهَا نُسِخَتْ . وقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ : قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْمُسَوَّرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْأَسَدِيُّ الْمَالِكِيُّ .
Narrated Al-Miswar ibn Yazid al-Maliki: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited - Yahya (sub narrator) said: Sometimes al-Miswar said: I prayed along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and witnessed that he recited - the Quran during the prayer and omitted something (i. e. some verses inadvertently) which he did not recite. A man said to him: Messenger of Allah, you omitted such-and-such verse. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Why did you not remind me of it? The narrator Sulayman said in his version: He (the man) said: I thought that it (the verse) was repealed.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
907. Commentary:
Due to human requirements, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam experienced some forgetfulness in recitation, which, firstly, affirms his humanity. His forgetfulness became a means of teaching and legislation for the Ummah. It is stated in the Qur'an: «سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ ٭ إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ» [87-الأعلى:6]
If the imam forgets in recitation, he should be prompted with those verses; if he is forgetting other pillars, then he should be told «سبحان الله», and a woman should alert by striking her hand on the back of the other hand.
